AZUR "Best Entree" Winner!

AZUR restaurant & patio had a very busy day yesterday. Executive Chef Ashby was preping for the Taste of the Bluegrass, the 28th edition of this event which showcases local restaurant dishes as well as beverage distributor's products, while insuring that the restaurant was ready for a warm Friday night dinner service. He was determined to show the attendees the culinary talents of AZUR. The judges validated his creation by awarding it the "Best Entree" award! We may very well add the entree to the upcoming summer dinner menu.

Charity Event

AZUR restaurant & patio will be joining other restaurants at the Taste of the Bluegrass tomorrow night. Executive Chef Jeremy Ashby hopes to repeat his People's Choice award from last year with his this year's offering. If you don't have tickets, no worries. AZUR will be serving as usually on Friday night at the restaurant. The weather is going to be great so if you want to be on the patio, please make your reservations now.

Interesting Customer Comment

As AZUR was reviewing customer comment cards last evening, we ran across an interesting customer comment that we had not received before. The customer stated that AZUR offered "...an urban feel in a suburban setting..." We thought that was just a wonderful commentary on the restaurant. AZUR is definitely in a suburban strip mall but it doesn't feel like it once you enter the interior dining room or the exterior patio. Thank you for the compliment!

AZUR Awning Pleasing Guests

Though we were unsure how our guests would react to the large awning that was installed on the lower patio several weeks ago, AZUR is pleased to report nothing but positive comments. Not only does in protect our lunch and evening diners from direct sun and unpredicted rain showers, it also appears to make a more intimate dining experience on the patio. Basically, it complements the garden setting. The awning colors mirror the entire and the translucent celing panels allow plenty of light without being harsh. Very shortly, the ceiling fans will be installed to create air flow even on the hottest summer days.

Memorial Day

AZUR restaurant & patio is closed today in observance of Memorial Day. We believe that our staff should spend time with their families because family is important. Yes, we could easily remain open and our staff would work but we feel that there are more important things. AZUR hopes that you have a relaxing day as well with your families and friends. We will re-open at
11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 27 for lunch service.

What AZUR Has Been Doing

Besides a little rest & relaxation before summer is in full swing, AZUR has been working on several specialty dinners. We have a Kenyan dinner, a Latin dinner and an Organic dinner with a special guest chef (more later) planned for the upcoming months. Also, we have Father's Day Brunch coming up on Sunday, June 15 from 11 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Plus, AZUR is about to release our new lunch and dinner menus for the summer. It's all about food at AZUR!

AZUR Chef Series Indian Dinner

AZUR will be featuring the talents of sous chef Justin Clark on Tuesday, May 27. He has created an interesting six course Indian dinner. The cost is $45.00 per person and the dinner may be started at any time after 6:30 p.m. This is a new twist to our Chef Series which normally start at a scheduled time. Please contact AZUR at 859-296-1007 for additional details or reservations.
